The Second City Network have put together a little video that encourages Democrats to come out and vote for Rick Santorum in the primaries, mostly to screw things up for Mitt Romney. This is becoming a bid deal in the Michigan primary today with both candidates speaking up about it. It reminds me of the 2008 campaign when Rush Limboaugh and Sean Hannity encouraged people to vote for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton to keep the fight going. This plan backfired on them, and they got a President Obama which is a lot further to the left of a President Hillary Clinton. Playing games with politics like this is dangerous and immoral to democracy at best. It is pure manipulation of the ballot process. Second City actually addresses this saying, “To any who oppose such tactics on moral grounds, one might ask if they’re part of the same group of people who oft bemoan the passive, compromise-y tactics of the current administration. Be the change you’ve been waiting for, and so forth.” At the same time they say, “Vote Santorum. For now. Really enjoy it.” Play this game and you could end up with your worst fear, a hard core conservative President Santorum in 2012. Politics is not a pure science and no one can predict what will happen in the next 6 months.
